Ive got several pf the same patterns. I have a very old pattern (original so vintage) for Barbie/11.5 inch dolls from the early 70s. That McCalls pattern (M6258?) though....I dont know if yours is the same, but mine arrived missing an entire page or more of construction directions! I assumed it was just a one-off, so I reordered it, but the second one was exactly the same....meaning I have to figure out how to sew the patterns without instructions. I have quite a stash of patterns now, including a couple of books (which include the patterns for all the Barbie figure types) created by a French fashion designer for Barbie. I've also hunted down patterns for Ken too. (Especially since he has fewer clothing options than Barbie, lol) Also, this is a funny coincidence: that 6208 pattern has a name written on it...that's MY first name, haha!!
oh that's so unfortunate! Have you tried contacting customer service at Simplicity.com? They may be able to send you the full instructions. I would love to get a hold of that book! Some of the patterns are reprints from older ones, I think. I wish they would design and put more out!
Thank you for this vid. ❤
You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

@its_a_dolls_life Thank you, that's a great idea! I'll give that a try.(Not sure why I didn't think of that myself, haha)
